Hells yeah. I read this today and i would like to shake the hand of the person who came up with this. Or kiss them on the head even. It's so well put and so, so true. Sigh.
London Times- Quote of the Week
“South Africa is the only country in the world where affirmative action is in the favour of the majority who has complete political control. The fact that the political majority requires affirmative action (BEE) to protect them against a 9% minority group is testament to a complete failure on their part to build their own wealth making structures, such that their only solution is to take it from others.” Finally, a word recently coined to describe South Africa’s current political situation.
Ineptocracy (in-ep-toc’-ra-cy) -
a system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers."

The thing is, the people my age now never went through apartheid, never were affected directly by it, had the same schooling opportunities as whites (even more thanks to them being allowed to get into university before whites) so we are all on an equal playing field when it comes to generating and learning how to generate wealth now. One of the richest men in SA is black, he went through apartheid, so how did he conquer and rise above?

I am reading a book with references to how Abraham Lincoln used to be against criticism completely and how it made so many more positive changes.
maybe his DNA needs to be cloned and sent to lead all our countries and whip em into shape.

She supported e.g. the idea of afroamericans serving as pilots in the USAF. And when President Roosevelt was sick for his polio she made decisions for him together with his chief of staff (and not the worst decisions...)

On a related note, I did some research on the Safrican Constitution. My criticisms seem to echo your reality. Interesting.
